Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates regarding the functional currency. For the purposes of the
preparation of these financial statements, in accordance to Romanian legislative requirements, the
functional currency of the Company is deemed to be the Romanian Leu (RON).

separate financial statements in accordance with local generally accepted accounting principles (Local
GAAP), represented by MOF 3055/2009 for the years 2011 and 2010. These are the Companys first set
of separate financial statements prepared under IFRS as adopted by the EU.

1. LEGAL PRINCIPLES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Standards and Interpretations issued by IASB but not yet effective and not early adopted

At the date of authorization of these financial statements the following standards, revisions and
interpretations were issued by IASB, but are not yet effective and were not early adopted by the
Company:

IAS 1 Financial Statement Presentation (Amended) Presentation of Items of Other
Comprehensive Income
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The amendments
to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or
recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, net gain on hedge of net investment,
exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net movement on cash flow hedges and
net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets) would be presented separately from items that
will never be reclassified (for example, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans and
revaluation of land and buildings).

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amended)
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The IASB has
issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing
the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications
and re-wording.

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (Revised)
The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. For companies
which apply IFRS as adopted by the EU, the effective date is 1 January 2014. As a consequence of
the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. Early application is permitted.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Revised)
The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. For companies
which apply IFRS as adopted by the EU, the effective date is 1 January 2014. As a consequence of
the new IFRS 11 Joint arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 28
Investments in Associates, has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures,
and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to
associates.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amended) - Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.These
amendments clarify the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off. The
amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such
as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not
simultaneous.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amended) - Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. These
amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements
(e.g. collateral agreements). The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in
evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position. The new disclosures
are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32
Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments
that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of
whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32.

12

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. IFRS 9, as
issued, reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to
classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The
standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but
amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in
December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. In subsequent phases, the
IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of the first
phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of financial assets, but will
not have an impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Company will
quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is
issued. Early application is permitted. This standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. For
companies which apply IFRS as adopted by the EU, the effective date is 1 January 2014. IFRS 10
replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the
accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12
Consolidation Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to
all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require
management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled and therefore
are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities Non-monetary
Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities
(JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture
must be accounted for using the equity method.

IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities
includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial
statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28.
These disclosures relate to an entitys interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and
structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. IFRS 13
establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does
not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to
measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. This standard should be
applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted.

IFRIC Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.This
interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping costs) incurred in surface mining activity, during the
production phase of the mine. The interpretation addresses the accounting for the benefit from the
stripping activity.

13

Annual improvements to IFRSs effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013,
not yet endorsed by EU. Earlier application is permitted in all cases, provided that fact is disclosed.
This set of amendments published as part of the annual improvements process includes specific
changes to IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32 and IAS 34.

Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The IASB issued
amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS
12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. The amendments change the transition guidance to
provide further relief from full retrospective application. The date of initial application in IFRS 10 is
defined as the beginning of the annual reporting period in which IFRS 10 is applied for the first time.
The assessment of whether control exists is made at the date of initial application rather than at the
beginning of the comparative period. If the control assessment is different between IFRS 10 and IAS
27/SIC-12, retrospective adjustments should be determined. However, if the control assessment is
the same, no retrospective application is required. If more than one comparative period is presented,
additional relief is given to require only one period to be restated. For the same reasons IASB has
also amended IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities to
provide transition relief. This guidance has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27)
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The
amendment applies to a particular class of business that qualifies as investment entities. The IASB
uses the term investment entity to refer to an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely
for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. An investment entity must also
evaluate the performance of its investments on a fair value basis. Such entities could include private
equity organizations, venture capital organizations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other
investment funds. Under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, reporting entities were required
to consolidate all investees that they control (i.e. all subsidiaries). The Investment Entities
amendment provides an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and requires
investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than
consolidate them. The amendment also sets out disclosure requirements for investment entities. This
amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Early application of the above standards and interpretations is not foreseen by the Company. Potential
effects in the respective years of initial application are currently being evaluated by management.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities and recognized contingent liabilities at
the end of the reporting period and amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting
period, as well as the amounts disclosed in the notes. Estimates and judgments are continuously
evaluated and are based on managements experience and other factors, including expectation of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in actual outcomes that may differ from these estimates and may
require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liabilities in future periods. The
management believes that any deviations from these estimates will not have a material influence on the
Companys financial statements in the near-term.

Estimates and assumptions need to be made particularly with respect to the following:

a) Mineral reserves (oil and gas reserves) are estimated by the Companys own engineers. The estimates
are audited externally every two years. Commercial reserves are determined using estimates of
hydrocarbons in place, recovery factors and future oil and gas prices.

14

The oil and gas development and production properties are depreciated on a unit of production basis at a
rate calculated by reference to either total proved or proved developed reserves (please refer to
Depreciation, amortization and depletion accounting policy below), determined as presented above. The
carrying amount of oil and gas development and production assets at December 31, 2012 is shown in
Note 6.

The level of estimated commercial reserves is also a key determinant in assessing whether the carrying
value of any of the Companys development and production assets has been impaired.

b) Decommissioning costs will be incurred by the Company at the end of the operating life of some of the
Companys facilities and properties.

Estimates of future restoration costs are based on current contracts concluded with suppliers, reports of
Petrom engineers as well as on past experience. Provisions for restoration costs require estimates of
discount rates and inflation rates. These estimates have a material effect on the amount of the provisions
(see Note 13).

The ultimate decommissioning and restoration costs are uncertain and cost estimates can vary in
response to many factors including changes to relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new
restoration techniques or experience at other production sites. The expected timing and amount of
expenditure can also change, for example, in response to changes in reserves or changes in laws and
regulations or their interpretation. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions
established which would affect future results.

c) In accordance with IAS 36, intangible assets as well as property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
balance sheet date for any indications of impairment. If indicators that an impairment loss may have
occurred are present, the Company makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit or asset. The recoverable value is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to
sell. In most cases the Company formally estimates the value in use. The computation of value in use is
based on budgets and forecasts and requires the use of a wide range of estimates and assumptions,
such as future product prices and/or gross margins, growth rates, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates,
discount rates etc.

For the computation of value in use as of December 31, 2012 the post-tax discount rates used (that
reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset/ cash
generating unit) are specific for each segment, as follows: 7.3% for E&P (2011: 7.4%), 6.0% for G&P
(2011: 5.9%) and 6.2% for R&M (2011: 6.2%).

In addition, management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate level of grouping E&P assets
into CGUs, in particular with respect to the E&P assets which share significant common infrastructure and
are consequently grouped into the same CGU.

d) The application of the Companys accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires
judgment in determining whether it is probable that future economic benefits are likely either from future
operation or sale or where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of
the existence of reserves. The determination of reserves and resources is itself an estimation process
that involves varying degrees of uncertainty depending on sub-classification and these estimates directly
impact the point of deferral of exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in
particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates
and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized,
information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant
capitalized amount is written off in profit or loss in the period when the new information becomes
available.

e) By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to
occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and
estimates of the outcome of future events.

2. RECONCILIATION BETWEEN IFRS AND PREVIOUS LOCAL GAAP

These financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2012, are the first separate financial
statements that the Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU, in
accordance with the provisions of MOF 1286/2012. For periods up to and including the year ended 31
December 2011, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with local generally
accepted accounting principles (Local GAAP, being the Ministry of Finance Order 3055/2009 for the years
2011 and 2010).

Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with IFRS as endorsed by the
EU applicable for annual periods ending on or after December 31, 2012, together with the comparative
period data as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011. In preparing these financial statements, the
Companys opening financial position was prepared as at January 1, 2011 (date of transition).

This note explains the reconciliation of the equity reported in accordance with previous GAAP to equity in
accordance with IFRS for both the date of transition to IFRS (January 1, 2011) and the end of the latest
period presented in the entity's most recent annual financial statements in accordance with previous
GAAP (December 31, 2011) as well as a reconciliation to its total comprehensive income in accordance
with IFRS for the latest period in the entity's most recent annual financial statements (for the year 2011).

A. At the date of first time adoption of IFRS in its consolidated financial statements (date of transition being 1
January 2005), the Company adopted the fair value of tangible and intangible assets as deemed cost. In
accordance with paragraph D17 of the Appendix D of IFRS 1, if a parent becomes a first-time adopter for
its separate financial statements later than for its consolidated financial statements, it shall measure its
assets and liabilities at the same amounts in both financial statements, except for consolidation
adjustments.

Under Local GAAP the foreign currency advances paid for acquisition of tangible and intangible assets
had to be revalued at the end of the reporting period. As per IAS 21 Effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates, non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency
shall be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; therefore, an adjustment for
reversal of revaluations of advances was booked against retained earnings.

In the past periods, the Company designated cash flow hedge relationships for acquisition of certain
items of plant, property and equipment. Under Local GAAP hedge accounting was not permitted; as per
IAS 39, an adjustment to increase the value of property, plant and equipment was booked against
retained earnings.

As per Local GAAP rules, items written off should be derecognized from accounting books. As mentioned
in the accounting policies, as per IFRS industry practice, under the successful efforts method, individual
mineral interests and other assets are combined to cost centers (fields, blocks, areas), which are the
basis for amortization and impairment testing. If single wells or other assets from a pooled amortization
base with proved reserves are abandoned or otherwise disposed of, the accumulated depreciation for the
single asset might be not directly identifiable. In general, irrespective if book values of abandoned assets
are identifiable, no loss is recognized from the partial disposal of assets from a pooled amortization base
as long as the remainder of the group of assets continues to produce oil or gas. It is assumed that the
abandoned or retired asset is fully amortized. The capitalized costs for the asset are charged to the
accumulated amortization base of the cost center. An adjustment to increase the value of assets
derecognized as per Local GAAP requirements was booked against retained earnings.

B. Under Local GAAP, the long term investments (shares and other financial investments) are kept at
historical cost, adjusted for depreciation if the case. As until January 1st 2004 Romania was a
hyperinflationary economy, provisions of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies were
applied in accounting of investments acquired before December 31, 2003. In accordance with IAS 29,
non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated and the restated cost, or cost less depreciation, of each
item is determined by applying to its historical cost and accumulated depreciation the change in a general
price index from the date of acquisition to the end of the reporting period. An adjustment increasing the
value of investments was booked against retained earnings.

C. The production cost of inventories should include the direct related depreciation and amortization cost. As
the value of productive assets under IFRS was different than the value under Local GAAP, also the direct
depreciation included in the value of inventories differs. A restatement adjustment related to the
production cost value was accordingly booked.

D. Under Local GAAP the deferred tax concept was not recognized. As per IAS 12 Income Taxes taxable
temporary differences, which are temporary differences that will result in taxable amounts in determining
taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount of the asset or liability is recovered or
settled and deductible temporary differences, which are temporary differences that will result in amounts
that are deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods when the carrying amount of
the asset or liability is recovered or settled should generate deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets.
An adjustment for recognition of deferred tax assets was booked against retained earnings.

E. Under Local GAAP, share capital is kept at historical cost. As until January 1, 2004 Romania was an
hyperinflationary economy, provisions of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies were
applied in accounting of share capital as of December 31, 2003. In accordance with IAS 29, the restated
value is determined by applying the change in a general price index. An adjustment increasing the value
of share capital was booked against retained earnings.
18


F. A reclassification from reserves to other financial liabilities was performed in relation with the value of land
obtained by the Company from the Romanian State, which shall be used to increase share capital. Under
Local GAAP, these plots of land obtained from the State were booked against reserves; under IFRS this
transaction meets the criteria for recognition as liability.

G. The Company entered into various contracts for protection of cash flows from sale of products, against
risks of decrease in prices. Under Local GAAP hedge accounting was not permitted and the hedge
results were recognized when realized, under financial result.

As per IAS 39, the effective part of fair valuation of the cash flow hedge instruments is recognized initially
in equity and furthermore recycled into P&L in the same period or periods during which the hedged
forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. Additionally, the inefficient part of the cash flow hedge is
recognized directly in income statement.

19

3. ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES

a) Pre-licence costs

Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

b) Licence and property acquisition costs

Exploration licence and property acquisition costs are capitalized in intangible assets. Licence costs paid
in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are capitalized and amortized over the
term of the permit.

Licence and property acquisition costs are reviewed at each reporting date to confirm that there is no
indication that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. This review includes confirming that
exploration drilling is still under way or firmly planned, or that it has been determined, or work is under
way to determine that the discovery is economically viable based on a range of technical and commercial
considerations and sufficient progress is being made on establishing development plans and timing.

If no future activity is planned or the licence has been relinquished or has expired, the carrying value of
the licence and property acquisition costs is written off through profit or loss. Upon recognition of proved
reserves and internal approval for development, the relevant expenditure is transferred to oil and gas
properties.

c) Exploration and appraisal costs

Exploration and appraisal costs are accounted for using the successful efforts method of accounting.
Costs related to geological and geophysical activity are expensed as and when incurred. The costs
associated to exploration and appraisal drilling are initially capitalized as unproved mineral properties and
related assets pending determination of the commercial viability of the relevant oil and gas properties. If
prospects are subsequently deemed to be unsuccessful on completion of evaluation, the associated costs
are included in the profit and loss account for the year. If the prospects are deemed commercially viable,
such costs are transferred to tangible oil and gas assets upon commencement of the production. The
status of such prospects and related costs are reviewed regularly by technical, commercial and executive
management including review for impairment at least once a year to confirm the continued intent to
develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. When this is no longer the case, the costs are
written off.

d) Development and production costs

Development costs including costs incurred to gain access to proved reserves and to prepare
development wells locations for drilling, to drill and equip development wells and to construct and install
production facilities, are capitalized as proved mineral properties and related assets.

Production costs, including those costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and
facilities (including depletion, depreciation and amortization charges as described below) and other costs
of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities, are expensed as incurred.

e) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and
impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost of acquisition or construction and are presented net
of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

20

3. ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES (continued)

The cost of purchased tangible assets is the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets and
the value of other directly attributable costs which have been incurred in bringing the assets to their
present location and condition necessary for their intended use. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes cost of direct materials, labour, overheads and other directly attributable costs that have been
incurred in bringing the assets to their present location and condition.

Capitalized exploration and appraisal activities are generally not depreciated as long as they are related
to unproved reserves, but tested for impairment. Once the reserves are proved and commercial viability is
established, the related assets are reclassified into tangible assets and once production starts
depreciation commences. Capitalized exploration and development costs and support equipment are
generally depreciated based on proved developed reserves or total proved reserves by applying the unit-
of-production method; only capitalized exploration rights and acquired reserves are amortized on the
basis of total proved reserves.

In accordance with IAS 36, intangible assets as well as property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
balance sheet date for any indications of impairment. For intangible assets with undetermined useful
lives, impairment tests are carried out annually. This applies even if there are no indications of
impairment.

If the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment
loss is recognized to reduce the asset to its lower recoverable amount. The assets value is written back
up to its depreciated cost if the reasons for recognition of an impairment loss disappear in subsequent
periods. The difference is disclosed under other operating income.

Scheduled depreciation and amortization calculated on a straight line basis is largely based on the
following useful lives:

Intangible assets Useful life (years)
Software 3 - 5
Concessions, licenses and other intangibles 5 - 20, or contract duration

Business-specific property, plant and equipment
E&P Oil and gas core assets Unit of production method
G&P Gas pipelines 20 - 30
G&P Gas power plant 8 - 30
R&M Storage tanks and refinery facilities 25 - 40
R&M Pipeline systems 20

Other property, plant and equipment
Production and office buildings 20 - 50
Other plant and equipment 10 - 20
Fixtures and fittings 5 - 10

For the application of the unit of production method the Company has separated the areas where it
operates in thirteen regions. The unit of production factor is computed at the level of each region, based
on the extracted quantities and the proved reserves or developed reserves as applicable.

The amortization of intangible assets is included in the income statement according to its function (mainly
under Production cost of sales).

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized are derecognized
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or
loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is
derecognized.

21


Under the successful efforts method individual mineral interests and other assets are combined to cost
centers (fields, blocks, areas), which are the basis for depreciation and impairment testing. If single wells
or other assets from a pooled depreciation base with proved reserves are abandoned or otherwise
disposed of, the accumulated depreciation for the single asset might be not directly identifiable. In
general, irrespective if book values of abandoned assets are identifiable, no loss is recognized from the
partial relinquishment of assets from a pooled depreciation base as long as the remainder of the group of
properties continues to produce oil or gas. It is assumed that the abandoned or retired asset is fully
amortized. The capitalized costs for the asset are charged to the accumulated depreciation base of the
cost center.

Assets classified as held for sale are disclosed at the lower of carrying value and fair value net of any
disposal costs. Non-current assets and groups of assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying
value will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This
classification requires that the sale must be estimated as highly probable, and that the asset must be
available for immediate disposal in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale,
which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of
classification. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once
classified as held for sale.

Advances for the acquisition of tangible and intangible assets are non-monetary items presented within
property, plant and equipment and respectively within intangible assets.

f) Major maintenance and repairs

The capitalized costs of regular inspections and overhauls are separate components of the related asset
or asset groups. The capitalized inspection and overhaul costs are amortized on a straight line basis, or
on basis of the number of service hours or produced quantities or similar, if this better reflects the time
period for the inspection interval (until the next inspection date).

Expenditure on major maintenance refits, inspections or repairs comprises the cost of replacement assets
or parts of assets, inspection costs and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset, that was
separately depreciated and is now written off, is replaced and it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Company, the expenditure is capitalized. Where part of the asset
replaced was not separately considered as a component and therefore not depreciated separately, the
replacement value is used to estimate the carrying amount of the replaced asset(s) which is immediately
written off. Inspection costs associated with major maintenance programmes are capitalized and
amortized over the period to the next inspection. All other day-to-day repairs and maintenance costs are
expensed as incurred.

Cost of major remedial activities for wells workover is also capitalized and depreciated using the unit-of-
production method.

All other minor repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

g) Leases

Property, plant and equipment contain assets being used under finance leases. Since the Company has
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, the assets must be capitalized at the
commencement of the lease at the lower of the present value of minimum lease obligation and fair value
of leased property, and then depreciated over their expected useful life or the duration of the lease, if
shorter. A liability equivalent to the capitalized amount is recognized, and future lease payments are split
into the finance charge and the capital repayment element.

All lease agreements not classified as finance leases are treated as operating leases and the operating
lease payments then form part of the operating expenses in the income statement on a straight line basis
over the lease term.

22


h) Financial instruments

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date, i.e. the
date on which the agreement is settled by delivery of assets that are subject of the agreement.
Derivatives are recognized on trade date basis, i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or
sell the asset.

The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the
financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. All financial instruments are measured
initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities not at fair value
through profit or loss, any directly attributable incremental costs of acquisition or issue.

The Companys financial assets include trade receivables and other receivables, cash and cash
equivalents and available-for-sale investments.

After initial measurement, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment.

After initial measurement, available-for-sale securities are recognized at fair value. Changes in their fair
value are however not recognized as income, but included directly as part of other comprehensive
income. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the profit or loss and
removed from the available-for-sale reserve.

Available-for-sale securities which are not listed and for which the fair value cannot be reliable
established are carried at acquisition cost less any impairment losses, and are tested yearly for
impairment.

The Companys financial liabilities include trade liabilities and other liabilities, loans and borrowings, and
derivative financial instruments.

Liabilities other than derivatives are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. If
goods and services supplied in connection with operating activities have not yet been invoiced but both
the dates and amounts of supply are already incurred, the obligations are included under liabilities rather
than as provisions.

Derivative instruments are used to hedge risks resulting from changes in interest rates, currency
exchange rates and commodity prices and are subsequently measured at fair value.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would
pay or receive if the positions were closed at year end date, and thus the unrealized gains and losses on
open positions. Quotations from banks or appropriate pricing models have been used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments at year end date.

Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as income or expense, except where the requirements for
hedge accounting are met. For hedge accounting to be applied the hedging relationship must be
documented and actual hedge effectiveness must be in the range 80%125%.

In the case of fair value hedges, changes in the fair value resulting from the risk being hedged for both
the hedged item and the hedging instrument are recognized as income or expense.

For cash flow hedges, the effective part of the changes in fair value is recognized directly in other
comprehensive income, while the ineffective part is recognized immediately in the income statement.
Amounts deferred in other comprehensive income are recycled in profit or loss in the periods when the
hedged item is recognized in profit or loss. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results
in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously
deferred in other comprehensive income are transferred from other comprehensive income and included
in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.
23


Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or
exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected
to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in other comprehensive income is recognized
immediately in profit or loss.

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or host contracts are treated as independent
instruments if their risks and characteristics are not closely associated with the host instruments and the
host instruments were not recognized at fair value, so that the related unrealized gains and losses are
recognized as income or expense.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed
to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events
that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets than can be reliably
estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is
experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they
will enter in bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is
a measurable decrease on the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic
conditions that correlate with defaults.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is derecognized when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-
through arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.

Management believes that the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized
cost substantially approximates their fair value, as most of such assets are either short term or are
bearing variable interest rates or are repriced regularly using the current market interest rates.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of
financial position if, and only if:
There is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and
There is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.

i) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred directly for the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are
capitalized until the assets are effectively ready for their intended use or for sale. Borrowing costs include
interest on bank short-term and long-term loans, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection
with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to
the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. All other costs of borrowing are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

24


j) Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is estimated on
selling price in the normal course of activity less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Cost of producing crude oil and gas and refining petroleum products is accounted on weighted average
basis, and includes all costs incurred in the normal course of business in bringing each product to its
present location and condition, including the appropriate proportion of depreciation, depletion and
amortization and overheads based on normal capacity.

Appropriate allowances are made for any obsolete or slow moving stocks based on the managements
assessments.

k) Provisions

Provisions are made for all present obligations (legal or constructive) to third parties resulting from a past
event, where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can reliably be estimated. Provision for individual
obligations is based on the best estimate of the amount necessary to settle the obligation. If the effect of
the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Decommissioning of oil and gas production assets describes the process of:
plugging and abandoning wells;
cleaning of sludge pits;
dismantlement of wellheads and production facilities;
restoration of producing areas in accordance with license requirements and the relevant legislation.

The Companys core activities regularly give rise to dismantling and removal, asset retirement and soil
remediation obligations. These decommissioning and restoration obligations are mainly of material
importance in the E&P segment (oil and gas wells, above-ground facilities). They are therefore disclosed
as a separate item. At the time the obligation arises, it is provided for in full by recognizing as a liability
the present value of future decommissioning and restoration expenses. An equivalent amount is
capitalized as part of the carrying value of related property, plant and equipment. The obligation is
calculated on the basis of best estimates. The capitalized asset is depreciated using the unit-of-
production method for upstream activities and on straight-line basis for downstream assets.

Changes in the assumptions related to decommissioning costs are dealt with prospectively, by recording
an adjustment to the provision and a corresponding adjustment to property, plant and equipment (for
Petrom part) or to the related receivable from the Romanian State (for the works to be reimbursed by
Romanian State).

The unwinding of the decommissioning provision is included in Income Statement as a finance cost.

Liabilities for environmental costs are recognized when a clean-up is probable and the associated costs
can be reliably estimated. Generally, the timing of recognition of these provisions coincides with the
commitment to a formal plan of action. The amount recognized is the best estimate of the expenditure
required. Where the liability will not be settled for a number of years, the amount recognized is the
present value of the estimated future expenditure.

Based on the privatization agreement of the Company, part of its decommissioning and environmental
cost will be reimbursed by the Romanian State. The portion to be reimbursed by the Romanian State has
been presented as receivable and reassessed in order to reflect the current best estimate of the cost at
its present value, using the same discount rate as for the related provisions.

25


The unwinding on the receivables from the Romanian State related to decommissioning and
environmental provisions (including any changes in the estimated timing of recovery) is included in the
financial result.

Provisions for pensions and severance payments are calculated using the projected-unit-credit method,
which divides the costs of the estimated benefit entitlements over the whole period of employment and
thus takes future increases in remuneration into account. Actuarial gains/losses are recognized fully
through the income statement.

Provisions for voluntary and involuntary separations under restructuring programs are recognized if a
detailed plan has been approved by management prior to balance sheet date, and an irrevocable
commitment is thereby established. Voluntary amendments to employees remuneration arrangements
are recognized if the respective employees have accepted the Companys offer. Provisions for obligations
under individual separation agreements are recognized at the present value of the obligation where the
amounts and dates of payment are fixed and known.

Emission allowances received free of cost from governmental authorities (EU Emissions Trading Scheme
for greenhouse gas emissions allowances) reduce obligations for CO
2
emissions, and provisions are
recognized only for shortfalls. The provision for a shortfall is initially measured at the best estimation of
expenditure required to settle the obligation, which is the market price of the emission rights at the closing
date. The related expense is recognized as emission costs, which are part of cost of sales. If
subsequently to the recognition of a provision emission rights are purchased an asset is only recognized
for the excess of the emission rights over the CO
2
emissions. Any price difference between the provision
and the quantity of offsetting emission rights is expensed as emission cost.

l) Taxes on income including deferred taxes

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as
reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The
Companys liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable
income.

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. Management periodically evaluates
positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject
to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and
interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled
and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

26


Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and
unused tax losses can be utilized except:
- Where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time
of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, and
- In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is
probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date
and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the income
statement.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset since a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority.

Production taxes

Royalties are based on the value of oil and gas production and are included in the income statement
under production cost of sales.

m) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced
for estimated customer returns, rebates and other incentives.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with
ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

27


Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the
contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
installation fees are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the installation, determined
as the proportion of the total time expected to install that has elapsed at the balance sheet date;
servicing fees included in the price of products sold are recognized by reference to the proportion of
the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold, taking into account historical trends in the
number of services actually provided on past goods sold; and
revenue from time and material contracts is recognized at the contractual rates as labour hours are
delivered and direct expenses are incurred.

Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue from investments is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment has
been established.

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to that assets net carrying amount.

n) Components of cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash is considered to be cash on hand and in operating
accounts in banks. Cash equivalents represent deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of
less than three months.

o) Interest in joint ventures

IFRS defines joint control as contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists
only when the strategic financial and operating decisions regarding the activity require the unanimous
consent of the parties sharing the control (the venturers).

The Company has interests in jointly controlled assets.

A jointly controlled asset (JCA) involves joint control and often joint ownership by the Company and other
venturers of the assets contributed to, or acquired for the purpose of, the joint venture, without the
formation of a corporation, partnership or other entity.

Where the Companys activities are conducted through JCAs, it recognizes its share of the jointly
controlled assets and liabilities it has incurred, its share of any liabilities jointly incurred with other
venturers, income from the sale or use of its share of the joint ventures output, together with its share of
the expenses incurred by the joint venture, and any expenses it incurs in relation to its interest in the joint
venture and a share of production. The Company combines its share of the jointly controlled assets and
liabilities, income and expenses of the JCA with similar items, line by line, in its financial statements.

p) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

The investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment losses.

28

4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate ruling on transaction date. Monetary
assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are converted into RON at the exchange rate on the
balance sheet date, communicated by the National Bank of Romania:

Expenditure recoverable from Romanian State

As part of the privatization agreement, OMV Petrom S.A. is required to close wells, which are abandoned
and are awaiting closure. However, such expenditures will be recoverable by the Company from the
Romanian State as these pertain to E&P activities prior to its privatization in 2004. Consequently, OMV
Petrom S.A. has recorded the estimated decommissioning expenditures against receivable from the
Romanian State with a net present value of RON 1,956.22 million as at December 31, 2012 (2011: RON
2,163.08 million; 2010: RON 1,992.84 million). The Company also recorded receivable from the
Romanian State related to environmental liabilities in E&P, R&M and Doljchim with net present value of
RON 332.11 million (2011: RON 470.62 million; 2010: RON 466.11 million) as these were existing prior to
privatization of OMV Petrom S.A.

As of December 31, 2012, OMV Petrom filed claims for reimbursement of environmental cleanup costs in
the amount of RON 95.94 million. Up to the date of these financial statements the Romanian State has
not paid the claimed amounts.

Share capital

The share capital of OMV Petrom S.A. consists of 56,644,108,335 fully paid shares as at December 31,
2012 (December 31, 2011 and 2010: same number) with a total nominal value of RON 5,664.41 million.
The balance up to RON 18,983.37 million represents inflation adjustment, as Romania was a
hyperinflationary economy until January 2004.

Cash flow hedging reserve

In order to protect the Company's cash flows in 2012, OMV Petrom S.A. entered in September 2011 into
oil price swaps, locking in a Brent price of approximately USD 101/bbl for a volume of 30,000 bbl/d. The
oil price swaps were accounted as cash flow hedge. The liability from hedge contracts was valued at the
market value as at December 31, 2011 in amount of RON 142.63 million (see Note 32). The effective part
of the changes in fair value was recognized in other comprehensive income amounting to RON (119.67)
million, net of deferred tax asset, while the ineffective part was recognized in the income statement in
amount of RON (0.17) million for the year ended December 31, 2011. (Please refer also to Notes 15
and 32).

During the year 2012 the oil price hedge was realized, resulting in an expense of RON 394.08 million.
There are no equity related balances for this hedge as of December 31, 2012.

Revenue reserves
Revenue reserves include retained earnings, as well as other non-distributable reserves (legal and
geological quota facility reserves, other reserves from fiscal facilities).

Geological quota included in revenue reserves is amounting to RON 5,062.84 million (2011 and 2010:
same amount). Until December 31, 2006 OMV Petrom S.A. benefited from geological quota facility

million, 2010: RON 616.70 million). OMV Petrom S.A. sets its legal reserve in accordance with the
provisions of the Romanian Companies Law, which requires that 5% of the annual accounting profit
before tax is transferred to legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches 20% of the share
capital of the Company.

Other non-distributable reserves from fiscal facilities are amounting to RON 208.60 million (2011 and
2010: same amount).

13. PROVISIONS (continued)

Provisions for defined benefit obligations

Employees of the Company are entitled to receive severance payments upon termination of employment
or on reaching normal retirement age. The entitlements depend on years of service and final
compensation levels. Provisions have been set up based on actuarial calculations performed by qualified
actuaries using the following parameters: a discount rate of 6.48% (2011: 7.35%; 2010: 4.75%), an
inflation rate of 3.15% (2011: 3.52%; 2010: 3.00%) and an average salary increase of 6.00% (2011:
6.02%; 2010: 7.00%).

Provisions for decommissioning and restoration

Changes in provisions for decommissioning and restoration are shown in the table below. In the event of
subsequent changes in estimated restoration costs only the effect of the change in present value is
recognized in the period concerned. If the value increases, the increase is depreciated over the remaining
useful life of the asset, and if it decreases, the decrease is deducted from capitalized asset value.
Decommissioning and restoration provision for the year ended December 31, 2012 was calculated using
a time profile spread up to 35 years by using a discount rate of 6.48% (2011: 7.35%, 2010: 6.25%) and
an inflation rate of 3.15% (2011: 3.52%, 2010: 2.73%).

Revisions in estimates for decommissioning and restoration provisions arise from re-assessing each year
the cost of workings, the number of wells and other applicable items, as well as the expected timing of the
decommissioning and restoration.

In relation to the Companys decommissioning and restoration obligations, there is a corresponding claim
against the Romanian State, as presented in Note 8.

Details on the Decommissioning and restoration obligations are as follows:

2012 2011

Balance as at January 1 6,102.32 5,702.80

Revisions in estimates (257.25) 261.69

Settlements current year (162.58) (230.11)

Balance as at December 31 6,109.75 6,102.32

The unwinding effect is included in the Income Statement under the net interest expense line. The
revisions in estimates impact either the assets subject to decommissioning (as presented in Notes 5
and 6) or the related receivable from State.

Other provisions were as follows:

Total 1,527.04 715.08 811.96

Environmental provisions

The environmental provision is estimated by the management based on the list of environment related
projects that must be completed by the Company. Petrom experts in environmental issues made their
best estimates in order to determine the necessary provisions recorded as at December 31, 2012. The
same discount rates and inflation rates as for the decommissioning and restoration provisions are used to
compute the environmental provisions.

The Company recorded environmental liabilities against receivable from the Romanian State in E&P,
R&M and Doljchim, as these obligations existed prior to privatization.

Other personnel provisions

Included in other personnel provisions is mainly the restructuring provision recorded by the Company
further to approved restructuring plan that has been communicated to those affected by it.

Provisions for litigations

The Company monitors all litigations instigated against it and assesses the likelihood of losses and
related financial cost using in house lawyers and outside legal advisors. The Company has assessed the
potential liabilities with respect to ongoing cases and recorded its best estimate of likely cash outflows.

Other provisions

As at December 31, 2012 short-term provisions included under this line are related mainly to provisions
for taxes to be paid to Romanian State amounting to RON 235.71 million and also provisions for late
payment interest following receipt of the preliminary results of the fiscal review of OMV Petrom SA for the
years 2009 and 2010 in amount of RON 209.03 million (see Note 22).

As at December 31, 2011 the main short-term provision was in amount of RON 366.53 million,
representing the fine imposed to the Company by the Romanian Competition Council as a result of the
antitrust investigation. The provision was entirely used in 2012, as the fine was paid by the Company.

Under other long-term provisions it is included the amount of RON 115.85 million (2011: RON 120.17
million) representing estimated costs in relation to Arpechim refinery permanent closure announced in
March 2011.

Emissions certificates

Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the European Council established a greenhouse
gas emissions trading scheme, requiring member states to draw up national plans to allocate emissions
certificates. Romania was admitted to the scheme in January 2007, when it joined the EU.

Under this scheme OMV Petrom S.A. received a total of 4,287,525 free emissions certificates for the year
2012 (2011: 4,444,349, 2010: 4,650,862).

During 2012 the Company did not sell emissions certificates (2011: sales of 1,165,000 certificates, 2010
sale of: 2,650,000 certificates).

As at December 31, 2012, the Company had no shortfall in EU allowances allocated compared to the
CO
2
emissions of installations subject to the EU Emission Trading Scheme.

25. SEGMENT INFORMATION

OMV Petrom S.A. is organized into four operating segments: Exploration and Production (E&P), Gas and
Power and Refining and Marketing while management, financing activities and certain service functions
are concentrated in the Corporate & Other segment.

Petroms involvement in the oil and gas industry, by its nature, exposes it to certain risks. These include
political stability, economic conditions, changes in legislation or fiscal regimes, as well as other operating
risks inherent in the industry such as the high volatility of crude prices and the US dollar. A variety of
measures are taken to manage these risks.

Apart from the integration of Petroms upstream and downstream operations, and the policy of
maintaining a balanced portfolio of assets in the E&P segment, the main instruments used are operational
in nature. There is a company-wide environmental risk reporting system in operation, designed to identify
existing and potential obligations and to enable timely action to be taken. Insurance and taxation are also
dealt with on a company-wide basis. Regular surveys are undertaken across Petrom to identify current
litigation and pending court and administrative proceedings.

Business decisions of fundamental importance are made by the Executive Board of OMV Petrom S.A.
The business segments are independently managed, as each represents a strategic unit with different
products and markets.

E&P activities are mainly focused on Romania and Kazakhstan. E&P products are crude oil and natural
gas.

Gas business unit has the objective to focus on gas sales and on the best use of the potential and
opportunities resulting from the market liberalization. Business division Power has been established with
the purpose of diversifying the activity of OMV Petrom S.A. in the Romanian energy sector. Brazi power
plant has started commercial operations in August 2012.

R&M produces and delivers gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products to its customers. Refining
division includes two Romanian refineries, Arpechim and Petrobrazi. In March 2011 OMV Petrom S.A.
announced the permanent closure of the Arpechim refinery. Marketing division delivers products to both
Retail and Wholesales customers.

During 2012 OMV Petrom S.A. has repaid borrowings and lease obligations amounting to RON 1,229.60
million (2011: RON 2,633.85 million) and has drawn borrowings amounting to RON 754.59 million (2011:
RON 1,433.74 million).
b) Proceeds from sale of financial assets
In 2012 the Company received an advance of RON 9.82 million for the sale of its stake in the subsidiary
Petrom LPG S.A. to Crimbo Gas International (see also Note 33) and an amount of RON 0.10 million
related to the disposal of Korned LLP.
During 2011 the Company received an amount of 59.25 million related to Ring Oil Holding & Trading Ltd
(consideration for disposal of RON 49.02 million and loan of RON 10.23 million reimbursed by the former
subsidiary). This amount is adjusted by a decrease in price for shares in Aviation Petroleum S.R.L. sold to
Petrom Aviation S.A. during 2011.

c) Exploration cash-flows
The amount of cash outflows in relation to exploration activities incurred by OMV Petrom S.A. for the year

of RON 172.26 million is related to operating activities (2011: RON 105.90 million) and the amount of
RON 202.25 million represents cash outflows for exploration investing activities (2011: RON 386.97
million).

29. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Estimates of fair value at year end date, discussed below, are normally based on the market information
available. The fair value of other financial assets and securities and investments is calculated primarily on
the basis of quoted market prices. Where no quoted price and no present value can be established, the
determination of a fair value is not feasible.

The book values of accounts receivable and other assets and cash in hand, checks and cash at bank are
reasonable estimates of their fair values, as the assets in question generally have maturities of less than
one year.

The fair value of financial liabilities, for which market prices are not available, was established by
discounting future cash flows using the interest rates prevailing at year end date for similar liabilities with
like maturities.

The carrying values of tax provisions and other current provisions is the same as their fair value. The fair
value of non-current provisions is not considered to differ materially from their carrying value.

The carrying value of other liabilities is effectively the same as their fair value, because they are
predominantly short-term. The fair value of derivative financial instruments corresponds to their market
value.

The following overview presents the measurement of financial instruments (assets and liabilities)
recognized at fair value. In accordance with IFRS 7, the individual levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Using inputs for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data such as
prices, but on internal models or other valuation methods.

As at December 31, 2012 and 1 January 2011 there are no balances in relation to derivative financial
instruments.

The Company provides for litigations that are likely to result in obligations. Management is of the opinion
that litigations, to the extent not covered by provisions or insurance, will not materially affect the
Companys financial position. The production facilities and properties of the Company are subject to a
variety of environmental protection laws and regulations; provisions are made for probable obligations
arising from environmental protection measures. The management believes that compliance with current
laws and regulations, and future more stringent laws and regulations, will not have a material negative
impact on results.

32. RISK MANAGEMENT

Capital risk management

OMV Petrom S.A. continuously manages its capital adequacy to ensure that it is optimally capitalized in
balance with its risks exposure in order to maximize the return to stakeholders. The capital structure of
OMV Petrom S.A. consists of shareholders equity (comprising adjusted share capital, revenue reserves
and other reserves as disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity) and debt (which includes the
short and long term borrowings disclosed in Note 14). Capital risk management at OMV Petrom S.A. is
part of the value management and it is based on permanent review of the gearing ratio of the Company.

The gearing ratio of OMV Petrom S.A. calculated as net debt/(equity)*100 was 12% as at December 31,
2012 (2011: 14%; 2010: 18%) showing a decreasing exposure to leverage risk. Net debt is calculated as
interest-bearing debts including financial lease liability, less cash and cash equivalents.

The Companys management reviews the capital structure as well as risk reports regularly. As part of this
review, the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital are being considered.

Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition,
the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of
each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 3 to the
financial statements.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The objective of Petrom Risk Management function is to secure positive economic value added for
medium term time horizon by managing the Companys cash flow exposure within the risk appetite. High
potential single event risks are monitored individually.

Petrom does not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Risk Management
function reports twice per year to Petroms Executive Board and Supervisory Boards Audit Committee,
that monitors all risks and policies implemented to mitigate the Companys risk exposures.

70
32. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Risk exposures and responses

OMV Petrom S.A.s Risk Management function actively pursues the identification, analysis, evaluation
and treatment of all risks (market & financial, operational and strategic) in order to minimize their effects
on Companys cash flow up to an acceptable level agreed as the risk appetite.

The Risk Management function monitors and manages all risks of the Company through and integrated
process in line with ISO 31000, by internal risk reports and regular assessments which analyze all risk
exposures and their cash flow magnitude in comparison with the risk appetite.

Aside the business operational and strategic category of exposures, the market and financial risk
category plays an important role in the Companys risk profile and is managed with special diligence
market and financial risk includes, among others, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, counterparty
credit risk, commodity market price risk and liquidity risk.

Response wise, any risk coming near to their significance levels or rapidly developing risks which are
sensitive to the risk appetite level are monitored and alerts are issued; for these situations individual and
case specific treatment plans are proposed, approved and implemented immediately in order to decrease
the exposures up to acceptable levels.

Commodity Market Price Risk

Commodity Market Risk wise, the Company is naturally exposed to the market risks arising out of the
price driven volatility of the cash flows generated by production, refining and marketing activities
associated with crude oil, oil products, gas and electricity. The market risk has core strategic importance
within the Companys risk profile and the Companys midterm liquidity. The market price risks of the
Companys commodities are very closely analyzed, quantified, evaluated and mitigated when required in
order to secure their expected returns within the Companys midterm objectives.

Financial instruments are used where appropriate to hedge the main industry risks associated with price
volatility such as the highly negative impact of low oil prices on cash flow.

In order to protect its cash flow in 2012, OMV Petrom S.A. continued using the same hedging strategy for
2012 as well and in September 2011 entered into oil price swaps, locking in a Brent price of USD 101/bbl
for a volume of 30,000 bbl/d, which is around 30% of the 2012 total planned crude oil production. As at
December 31, 2011 the loss from fair valuation amounted to RON 142.63 million, same as the related
liability (see Note 15). The hedge was realized until the end of 2012, resulting in an expense of RON
394.08 million.

In 2011, OMV Petrom S.A. entered into oil price swaps, locking in a Brent price of approximately USD
97/bbl for a volume of 25,000 bbl/d during that year, which was around 30% of the domestic crude oil
production. The hedge was realized until end of 2011, resulting in an expense of RON 403.34 million.

Foreign exchange risk management

Because Petrom operates in many currencies, industry specific activities and the corresponding
exchange risks are being analyzed. Petrom is mostly exposed to the movement of the US dollar and Euro
against Romanian leu. Other currencies have only limited impact on cash flow and EBIT.

71

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The carrying amounts of the Companys foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at
the reporting date are as follows:

December 31,
2012
December 31,
2011
January 1,
2011

Liabilities
Thousand USD 54,177 91,496 101,977
Thousand EUR 611,048 699,691 880,973

The following table details the Companys sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the USD and
EUR against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign
currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 10% change in
foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit generated by a 10%
currency fluctuation and a negative number below indicates a decrease in profit with the same value.

(i) This is mainly attributable to the exposure on USD cash, trade receivables and payables, financial
assets and financial liabilities at the year end.
(ii) This is mainly attributable to the exposure on EUR loans, trade payables and other financial liabilities
at the year end.

The above sensitivity analysis of the inherent foreign exchange risk shows the translation exposure at the
end of the year; however the cash flow exposure during the year is continuously monitored and managed
by the Company.

72

Interest rate risk management

To facilitate management of interest rate risk, the Companys liabilities are analyzed in terms of fixed and
variable rate borrowings, currencies and maturities.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for
borrowings at the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the
amount of liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. A 1%
increase or decrease represents managements assessment of the reasonably possible change in
interest rates (with all other variables held constant).

Analysis for change in interest rate risk:

Variable rate
borrowings:
Balance as December 31, Effect of 1% change in interest

Long-term borrowings 1,735.00 2,197.26 3,465.51 17.35 21.97 34.66

Counterparty Credit Risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Company. The main counterparty credit risks are assessed, monitored and managed
using predetermined limits for specific countries, banks and business partners. On the basis of
creditworthiness, all counterparties are assigned maximum permitted exposures in terms of credit limits
(amounts and maturities), and the creditworthiness assessments and granted limits are reviewed on a
regular basis. For all counterparties depending on their liquidity class, parts of their credit limits is secured
via liquid contractual securities such as bank guarantee letters, credit insurance and other similar
instruments. The credit limit monitoring procedures are governed by strict guidelines.

The Company does not have any significant credit risk concentration exposure to any single counterparty
or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Company defines counterparties as
having similar characteristics if they are related entities.

Liquidity risk management

For the purpose of assessing liquidity risk, budgeted operating and financial cash inflows and outflows are
monitored and analyzed on a monthly basis in order to establish the expected net change in liquidity. This
analysis provides the basis for financing decisions and capital commitments. To ensure that the Company
remains solvent all the times and retains the necessary financial flexibility, liquidity reserves in form of
committed credit lines are maintained. The maturity profile of the Companys financial liabilities is
presented in Note 15.

73
33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 7, 2013 OMV Petrom S.A. finalized the sale of the interest percentage of its 99.99% interest
in Petrom LPG S.A. subsidiary to Crimbo Gas International. The sale of this participation is in line with
Petrom Groups strategy to focus on the core activities of the Group.

On February 13, 2013, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania Limited ("EMEPRL") and OMV
Petrom S.A. announced the signing of an agreement with Romgaz S.A. ("Romgaz") to grant Romgaz the
option to participate in petroleum operations in the deeper water portion of the Midia Block in the Black
Sea offshore Romania. EMEPRL and OMV Petrom S.A. signed in October 2012 a Transfer Agreement
with Sterling Resources Ltd. and Petro Ventures Europe B.V. for the purchase of an 85% interest in the
hydrocarbon exploration and production rights to a portion of the XV Midia Block. Romgazs option to
enter is triggered by the Transfer Agreement becoming effective and an announcement of a commercial
discovery. EMEPRL will be the operator of the petroleum operations in the deeper water portion of the
Midia Block.

On February 22, 2013, OMV Petrom S.A. signed a farm-out agreement with Repsol by which the latter
acquires a 49% working interest for the area deeper than 2,500 3,000 m of the onshore exploration
blocks Bicoi V, Trgovite VI, Piteti XII and Trgu Jiu XIII, located south of the Southern and Eastern
Carpathians. This partnership is in line with Companys strategy to unlock the deep onshore exploration
potential in Romania and targets investments estimated at approximately EUR 50 million in the next two
years.

Following the liberalization of gas prices enforced by the Romanian Government, starting February 1,
2013 and until the end of 2014, the Government has imposed an additional tax of 60% on the additional
revenues resulting from the domestic gas price liberalization net of corresponding royalties and upstream
investments (the latter capped at 30% for the additional revenues) for companies that extract and sell
natural gas in Romania, including from the perimeters in the Black Sea.

At the same time, also starting February 1, 2013 and until the end of 2014, the Government has imposed
a special tax of 0.5% on extraction of crude to the companies involved in the exploitation/ extraction of
natural resources.
